Title:
boot failure with grub “quiet splash” + linux-image-3.2.0-40-generic +
full disk encryption
Status in “plymouth” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
From this morning the boot process on my laptop is no longer working.
The only relevant change from yesterday (when all was working fine)
has been a kernel update (from 3.2.0-39-generic to 3.2.0-40-generic).
When grub tries to boot the 3.2.0-40-generic kernel, I get only a
black screen (the screen seems really powered off).
After many tries and googling around, I found the following: if I
change the CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT grub parameter (inside
/etc/default/grub) from the default value "quiet splash" to
"nomodeset" the boot process works but the screen has a lower
resolution than before (from 1600x900 to 800x600).
This is not happening with the previous kernel version
(3.2.0-39-generic). Even with "quiet splash" enabled, all is working
fine with the correct resolution.
An important note: my disk is fully encrypted (actually the setup is
LVM + encryption). So when the boot works fine, after the grub
selection screen I am asked to insert the passphrase for decrypting
the whole file system.
